Using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, the structure of a co-crystal between benzene and ethane formedin situat cryogenic conditions has been determined, and validated using dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations. The structure comprises a lattice of benzene molecules hosting ethane molecules within channels. Similarity between the intermolecular interactions found in the co-crystal and in pure benzene indicate that the C—H...π network of benzene is maintained in the co-crystal, however, this expands to accommodate the guest ethane molecules. The co-crystal has a 3:1 benzene:ethane stoichiometry and is described in the space group R\bar 3 witha= 15.977 (1) Å andc= 5.581 (1) Å at 90 K, with a density of 1.067 g cm−3. The conditions under which this co-crystal forms identify it is a potential that forms from evaporation of Saturn's moon Titan's lakes, an evaporite material.

By performing density functional theory calculations, the adsorption configurations of formic acid and possible reaction pathway for HCOOH oxidation on PtPd(111) surface are located. Results show that CO2 is preferentially formed as the main product of the catalytic oxidation of formic acid. The formation of CO on the pure Pd surface could not possibly occur during formic acid decomposition on the PtPd(111) surface owing to the high reaction barrier. Therefore, no poisoning of catalyst would occur on the PtPd(111) surface. Our results indicate that the significantly increased catalytic activity of bimetallic PtPd catalyst towards HCOOH oxidation should be attributed to the reduction in poisoning by CO.
